Continuity expected in North Korea -US think tank

Source: Alertnet (?) / Reuters

NEW YORK, March 10 (Reuters) - A delegation of North Korean officials in New York have indicated there will be "continuity" in the secretive state following the death in December of long-time leader Kim Jong-il, a former senior State Department official said on Saturday.

A North Korean delegation, led by Vice Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho, met on Saturday for some six hours with the National Committee on American Foreign Policy think tank. In a news conference following the meeting, Evans Revere, a former senior U.S. diplomat in South Korea who participated in the meeting, said he was heartened by the informal talks.

Revere said there appeared to be a "strong strand of continuity" in the unpredictable North Asian country, which is also known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).

"It suggests that the DPRK is not going off into some unpredictable or odd direction," Revere said.

Like the bombing of the Chonan war ship and the attack on Yangpyeong Island. I believe they also have built a dam very close to the boarder that if they decided to release water could flood Seoul. The threats both implied and unimplied are numerous.
